DLSS Mod

[woven topaz]

Looking for a viable way to create this mod, still haven't found anything promising, not experienced in this arena

[olive raptor]

The forums are for mod support not making mods

[woven topaz]

yes I know (but there should be)

[olive raptor]

Thats why we have #💻┃mod-making¹ and #💻┃mod-making²

[woven topaz]

But its not in forum format

[olive raptor]

Thats fine

Hi there

1- Look for a open source c# inference library
2 - save the final render with a command buffer CameraEvent.AfterEverything or change camera targettexture, or uses graphics blit to copy null to your render texture
3 - throw the render texture to the inference lib
4 - get the upscaled texture
5 - use graphic.blit(upscaled texture, null) to put the upscaled texture as final image

Wdym by find open source c# inference library, can you elaborate a little more please?

Also could you share the source of that AI processed gameplay you shared?

Very cool stuff

[ivory gazelle]

i dont think i can elaborate more, like it is just that. You will need to take a look in what is AI inference, and how to run a upscale AI model inference

[woven topaz]

Would that be specific to DLSS or some open source upscaling model?

[ivory gazelle]

all upscaling methods are just AI models (including FSR, DLSS, everyone), if you want to upscale a image, you will run the AI model inference over the image, thats how it works

so a inference lib is a tool to help you running any model inference

with that, you can run any model using the same code

upscaling models are a type of ai called convolutional neural network (CNN)

What inference library should I use though? I wouldn’t know what to look for when trying to find one. Just C# obviously but how do I make it work with the game also… idk

[ivory gazelle]

basically you will want the .dll of the lib and link within your mod.

so you can just use the classes/functions of the library inside your mod

i dont know which library you should use because i never did this in c#, i made very big projects that runs inference in c++ but never c#

you will need to search by yourself at google: "C# ai inference lib"

use the more famous that appears

[woven topaz]

If i could like bridge with another language in c# that seems more feasible because i couldnt find anything

Like c# binding for a c++ inference library

[ivory gazelle]

you could "bridge" by using an wrapper lib, this is common for big known libraries

[woven topaz]

I guess that’s basically the same thing though nvm

[woven topaz]

Thats what I meant yeah

Forgot the terminology
